Short filmTranscript
00:00I grew up visiting my parents in prison.
00:24My parents were arrested when I was 14 months old.
00:28My earliest memories are getting searched by prison guards.
00:33The suspect is 37-year-old David Gilbert and Kathy Boudin.
00:37Mainstays of the weather underground.
00:40We knew right away when we saw the headlines that they were going to be gone for a lot
00:44of Chazza's childhood.
00:46What's going to happen to Kathy and David's child should we take Chazza?
00:52I stopped talking.
00:54I kind of shut out the world.
00:57They were rages and sometimes they lasted for two days.
01:00There's a two-year-old or a three-year-old trying to understand what the weather underground
01:05was or what it means to commit a robbery.
01:07It's a difficult thing.
01:08There's no way to be committed to non-violence in the middle of the most violent society
01:12that history has ever created.
01:14It's not an accident that we did 25 bombings without any civilian casualties.
01:19Sometimes I'd say, if only I could have talked, I would have told them not to go.
01:22I'm going to need an ambulance.
01:23Yeah, he just yelled out, I need an ambulance.
01:25Yeah, he just yelled out, I need an ambulance.
01:27Shit.
01:28Danueck National Bank in the mall.
01:29They shot him in a white car.
01:32When he comes in the prison and the gates cling shut behind him, how scary that is.
01:38And he deals with it because he loves her.
01:43There's something really profound and primal there about a guy who grew up wanting to help
01:50his parents get out and thought he never could.
01:55At one point he made a decision to use his energy in a very different way.
01:59She has consistently publicly expressed her remorse based on participation in politics.
02:06My name is Jason Boudin and I'm running for district attorney.
02:08We're going to end money bail.
02:10And we're going to stop putting children in cages.
02:13I've been advising it since 2015, doing some political stuff on the side.
02:17Our mobile campaign office is probably going to be a long shot.
02:21I never have imagined that I would be actually campaigning for a district attorney.
02:26The life of a black man is so less valued.
02:31The district attorney's office filed homicide charges against former San Francisco police officer.
02:36The recall is on.
02:38We'll make every effort to have someone who can hold his hand with love.
02:43I beg you not to make me watch my father die in prison.
02:47The movement is alive and well from coast to coast, from north to south.
02:51This is a movement, not a moment in history.
